2. The standard you have set for yourself (ie where you "set the bar" for your stud in regards show quality). If you were to cull to the standard of a champion breeder you might not have any birds left! This is really a subjective thing and as we improve the quality of our birds hopefully the bar is raised to allow the disposal of better birds. lol this is so true i have hardly any birds left after some expert advice lucky i have high stranded

very nice and useful to you stock as well as winners

some wonderful birds their liv well done 4 sisters thats great good going

i been trying to find that book everywhere where can i get it pt or do i have to order specially or is that the book i brought at the preston ubcs as if it is i gave it way as it told me nothing i didnt know macka do you remember the one you comented one how it was good if you want to breed budgies by numbers ??? it was just a small book not to thick ???their was a few in a series

im the first to admit i am lol but as you say it the only way to know if im right in the direction im going and thoughts i process already as i said rip take time but cheers will love to hear your summory on it

good idea can i ask who breeder is i dont know whos the best rec pied breeder over their

i find the better ones always take a tad longer their heavier birds so lazy i guess in my experiace anyhow although not very long experianced lol only had three really good chicks so far

you should be thay are very nice but i was just saying i would put your best cock with the biggest head and blow with good size to him to hen and your biggest hen with best directional feather with the cock bird rather than breed thenm straight together as you could lose size in your out come breeding rec to rec not always but sometimes i wold do it once myself to see but i would be splitting cock to best hen in mean time hen has lots of growing to do she is defenently the better bird and it can be seen he has fantastic mask and may just be dumppy as new inviroment give him time he may perk up

can i be a pain in the pervervial butt and get you to do a Pauline Hanson and ....please explain when you have the time that is my dear freind

for rec pied your spot on dave id say then hen is better than the cock in size and substance will be good pair would be better if you split them to a really good normal meaing none rec pied then back cross the split chicks so u dont lose that size or mask lenghth

they are turning out nice linda post pics after molt please

The only way to guarantee olives(DD) is to breed olive(DD) to olive(DD). its also the best way to get nothing but dd

so thats actually a massive aviary out their ?? cool well leave the door open all you like
